  Deep color like a 2012. Light initial decanting sediment. Nice big body mouth weight 2% milk. Rich, smooth, great red, black, and blue fruits. Moderate tannin. Long finish. Very Cali modern smooth. Reminds me of a Tom Eddy and Crighton Hall "Reflexion" style. For braised lamb on St. Patrick's Day. Certainly can go another 4 or 5 years too ♡ 91 points.

  40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Cab Franc, 28% Merlot
  Color is very dark purple, crimson edge.
  Nose gives some sweet cherry, savory spices, cedar.
  Sharp and focused flavors of red currant, blueberry, eucalyptus, subtle oak.
  Medium to full bodied. Finishes with tart tannins and mostly red fruit with the
  Cab Franc characteristics really finishng the show. Nice effort. Drink or hold.
